(3) In order to facilitate international recruitment and provide opportunities for third-country nationals to work in EU-wide shortage occupations as well as to enhance the fair recruitment, remuneration and protection of migrant workers in line with international human rights and labour standards1a, an EU Talent Pool should be established in the form of a Union-wide platform that brings together and supports the matching of profiles of registered jobseekers from third countries residing outside the Union and job vacancies of employers established in the participating Member States. The Commission should ensure that the automated matching tool is set up in a way that does not replicate existing biases or discriminatory practices or create new ones. __________________ 1a See, for example, the ethical standards developed under the flagship initiative of the International Organisation for Migration: IRIS Standard on Ethical Recruitment (https://iris.iom.int/sites/g/files/tmzbdl201/ files/documents/IRIS%20Standard%20Re port%20.pdf) as well as the International Labour Organisation’s compilation of relevant rules and guidance in “General principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment and definition of recruitment fees and related costs” (https://www.ilo.org/sites/default/files/wc msp5/groups/public/@ed_protect/@protra v/@migrant/documents/publication/wcms _703485.pdf).

(5a) Labour shortages are often the combined result of low wages, mentally and physically demanding jobs, poor working conditions under short-term contracts and a lack of investment in vocational education and training (VET). Addressing those issues is essential to attracting and retaining workers. The EU Talent Pool should support the creation of quality employment in the Union, in line with the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. Decent wages, access to social protection, lifelong learning opportunities, good working conditions in safe and healthy workplaces, as well as respect for workers’ rights, trade union rights and collective agreements are essential means of preventing social dumping.

(5b) The European Employment Services (EURES), which provides information, advice and recruitment or placement for the benefit of workers and employers across the Union, plays a significant role in the publication of vacant positions with a view to attracting workers from other Member States. EURES should therefore be used to fill vacant positions before the EU Talent Pool is used.
